18. Recommendation Concerning the Authorization for Staff to Proceed with Due

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is considering a recommendation to begin due diligence for acquiring properties in the Brownsville Community. These properties are being evaluated as potential locations for a new community park and for additional space near the proposed Brownsville Incubator Site. The due diligence process will involve title searches, appraisals, property inspections, information gathering, and environmental assessments. This item is currently under review, representing an early stage in the public process. The project scope includes site evaluation and planning, which could lead to future development phases such as site clearing, grading, utility work, and construction. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's direction before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized, offering a potential advantage in securing future work.
